This is a bit dumb, sorry. I understand the rules- I think, but I find them counter intuitive and so I am uncomfortable. I am going to start bringing some of my cordless tools back. Do people really put the tools in a check bag and then just bring a handful of batteries in their carry on??
Is there a limit on this?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers can bring cordless tools in checked baggage, but batteries must be carried in the cabin. The maximum value of items allowed is generally around 80,000 baht, but this can vary by airline. It's advisable to check specific airline regulations regarding battery size and quantity, as lithium batteries above certain sizes are prohibited in checked luggage. Some users suggest considering purchasing tools in Thailand due to the availability of affordable options.
